Managed Service for Greenplum® pricing policy

In this section, you can find the Managed Service for Greenplum® pricing policy and effective prices for its resources.

To calculate the cost of using the service, use the calculator on the Yandex Cloud website or see the pricing in this section.

Cluster statusCluster status

Pricing is applied differently depending on the cluster status:

• For a Running cluster, you are charged both for the computing resources and the size of storage and backup.
• For a Stopped cluster, you are only charged for the storage and backup size.

What goes into the cost of using Managed Service for Greenplum®What goes into the cost of using Managed Service for Greenplum®

The Managed Service for Greenplum® usage cost is based on:

• Disk type and storage size.
• Computing resources allocated to cluster hosts and host type.
• Settings and number of backups.
• Egress traffic from Yandex Cloud.

In all calculations, 1 GB = 2³⁰ bytes.

Using cluster hostsUsing cluster hosts

There are different ways to calculate the cost depending on the host type:

• Standard hosts

  Host operation cost is charged per hour based on what computing resources you allocate for it.

• Dedicated hosts

  The cost is made up of two components: the cost of Yandex Compute Cloud computing resources and Managed Service for Greenplum® charges for these resources.

You can find the supported resource configurations in the Host classes section. For the vCPU and RAM prices, see Prices.

The minimum billing unit is one minute (for example, 1.5 minutes of host operation cost the same as 2 minutes). You do not pay for the time when the Greenplum® host is unable to perform its main functions.

Disk space usageDisk space usage

You pay for the following:

• Storage allocated for clusters.

  • You can only order local SSD storage (local-ssd) for clusters with two master hosts:

    • For Intel Cascade Lake: In increments of 100 GB.
    • For Intel Ice Lake: In increments of 368 GB.

  • Non-replicated SSD (network-ssd-nonreplicated) storage can only be ordered for clusters with two master hosts, in increments of 93 GB.

  To pay less for storage, export AO and AOCO tables from disks within the Managed Service for Greenplum® cluster to a cold storage in Yandex Object Storage. The data will be stored in a service bucket in a compressed and encrypted form, which is more cost-efficient. The cost of such storage is calculated based on the Object Storage pricing policy.

• Space used by DB backups in excess of the storage amount specified for the cluster.

  • Backups are stored free of charge as long as the combined size of the DB and all backups is smaller than the selected storage size.

  • When performing automatic backups, Managed Service for Greenplum® does not create a new copy but saves the data changed from the previous backup. It means the storage space used by automatic backups only increases in proportion to the volume of changes.

  • The number of hosts in a cluster does not affect the storage volume and, consequently, the free volume of backups.

The price covers one month of use based on 720 hours per month. The minimum billing unit is 1 GB per minute (for example, storing 1 GB for 1.5 minutes costs the same as storing 1 GB for 2 minutes).

Example of cluster cost calculationExample of cluster cost calculation

The cost of using a cluster with the following parameters for 30 days:

• Standard hosts: Three s3-c8-m32 hosts: Intel Ice Lake, 8 × 100% vCPU, 32 GB RAM.
• Storage for standard hosts: 100 GB of network HDD storage.
• Dedicated hosts: Three s2.medium hosts: Intel Cascade Lake, 8 × 100% vCPU, 32 GB RAM.
• Storage for dedicated hosts: 50 GB of local SSD storage.

Discount for committed volumes of services (CVoS)Discount for committed volumes of services (CVoS)

You can get a guaranteed discount on service resource usage when you plan for six months or one year ahead. To see the resources you can get a discount on:

1. Go to Billing.
2. Click on the desired billing account.
3. Choose Committed volume in the left-hand menu.

A CVoS guarantees a discount on usage, but does not guarantee the availability of the resources ordered. You can read more about CVoS in the Yandex Cloud Billing documentation.

Managed Service for Greenplum® provides two types of CVoS: on vCPUs and on RAM for the hosts you are planning to use in your DB clusters. In the management console, you can see how much you can potentially save with CVoS at the current consumption level. You can also forecast your monthly payments for the required number of vCPUs and RAM.

Prices for the Russia regionPrices for the Russia region

All prices below include VAT.

Host prices are calculated in different ways depending on the selected host type.

The price of local SSD storage (local-ssd) also depends on the host type.

The monthly usage rate is based on 720 hours a month.

Host computing resourcesHost computing resources

The cost calculation will be different depending on the host configuration:

• For i2 and i3 hosts (io-optimized), the cost is made up of the price for Managed Service for Greenplum® host computing resources (see the table below) and the price for software-accelerated network usage.
• For hosts with other configurations, you only pay for their computing resources:

Prices per hour
